I have so many of Melanie's wrt works that I pray I don't fall in love with more as the wall space is gone.She looks at the islands with artist's eyes. You have seen the same things, but voila! Melanie has translated the view into something magnificent. She captures the spirit and the love of the islands. Don't go if you have no will power! Lol

Amazing artwork that opens a window into the daily lives, sights and colors of this wonderful corner of the world. The only problem: hard to choose amongst all these wonderful paintings, I wished I had a lot more wall space. Hoping to return soon to see the latest paintings that Melanie brings to life.

Spiritual, fun and talented....that is Melanie! Her litle "Local Style Gallery" on Maeva Motu, surounded by palm trees, open to the trade winds... where you can also enjoy in her company a fresh smoothie.... is a must not to miss on Huahine Island.You will feel at home to discover her beautifull art...Aurélia
